One Pot Chicken, Rice, and Beans

Posted Sun, 05/08/2022 - 13:26 by Audrey
Skillet Chicken

This New York Times recipe is good for a dinner party. It easily serves 4-6 and spends 40 minutes unperturbed in the oven, making it something that can cook during cocktails and chit chat. We made just a few tweaks to the original recipe.

Huevos Rancheros

Huevos Rancheros

A tasty and relatively easy recipe with a great classic red sauce. The original recipe linked below uses canned chipotles, but this has been adapted to use more dried chiles, as the heat from the canned chipotles overpowers the eggs.

Sauce
* 3 whole dried ancho and/or pasilla peppers
* 1 canned chipotle chile
* 1/4 cup canola oil, divided
* 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
* 4 medium cloves garlic, thinly sliced
* 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1 (14-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted (such as Muir Glen)

Chicken, Rice and Beans

Posted Thu, 05/16/2013 - 19:31 by Jon
Chicken Rice and Beans

We originally intended to make this Bon Appetit recipe, but we morphed it to save some time. In the proportions here, this recipe will make two easy week-night meals. The rice and beans can be made the first night and reheated the second. A rotisserie chicken bought on the first night can be reheated in the oven or shredded and "fried" on the stovetop with a bit of olive oil.

Rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 medium onion, chopped

Empanadas

So, not really a true recipe, but pretty good and pretty easy. Maybe next time we'll get fancy and make our own empanada dough, but for the first try this turned out pretty good.

Goat Cheese Corn Enchiladas

Posted Fri, 09/14/2012 - 18:48 by Audrey
Goat Cheese and Corn Mole Enchiladas

In 2010, we attended a Oaxacan dinner as part of the annual Literary Feast on Capitol Hill. One of the dishes we ate was goat cheese, corn, and bean enchiladas with mole sauce. It was really delicious, and I finally got around to recreating it.

Chicken in a Tomatillo, Chipotle, and Brown Sugar Sauce

Posted Mon, 04/23/2012 - 18:53 by Audrey
Chicken with Tomatillo sauce

We recently got a digital antenna for our TV, which has opened up a mostly crappy selection of ".1" stations to us. But... there is an entire PBS station seemingly dedicated to cooking shows. My new favorite: Pati's Mexican Table. This is the first recipe of hers that we tried, and it was easy and delicious! I was especially excited to make this dish because we actually have a large log of piloncillo (like brown sugar) that we've been eating down for the last 2 years. Any opportunity to use that stuff is a win in my book.

    The South by SouthWestern Enchilada (with Verde Foam)

    Posted Sat, 01/22/2011 - 19:46 by Jon
    South by Southwestern Enchilada

    This is a tribute to the Southwestern Enchilada at Chuy's, with a twist of classic Mexico add on - hence - the South by SouthWestern stacked enchilada. It is also the ultimate recipe to use up the leftover yummies from a week of Mexico/TexMex eating. Random weird elements from that mole recipe? Let's find a place for it. Make some verde sauce from those lonely leftover tomatillos, and you're on your way.

    Per Enchilada:
    2-3 corn tortillas
    1 egg
    1 Tbsp crema
    1/2 cup chicken, partially shredded - dark meat preferred
    1/4 cup salsa verde

    Classic Red Mole Poblano

    Posted Sat, 01/15/2011 - 15:49 by Jon
    Chicken glazed with mole

    Having just returned from Mexico, we were craving Mexican food. We decided to take on the ultimate: Mole. We headed up to our local latin-american superstore market to pick up the necessary ingredients. Because we couldn't exactly get everything we needed, here's the record of what we actually did (and how it turned out). Our recipe is basically the ingredients list from Fonda San Miguel, a delicious Mexican restaurant in Austin, with the process taken from Nuevo Mexican guru Rick Bayless.
